Commentary: I love Skyline High, so let’s tear it down

I love Skyline High School. I cherish the learning, relationships and life lessons from Skyline that still enrich me every day.

Like the lesson from Ken Schmidt one afternoon when I lay sprawled on the practice field.

“Howell,” the coach said, “you’re going to get hit again. So you better learn to get up!”

“Young man,” she said, “someday this class will mean more to you than football or all your sports.”

On another day at Skyline, history teacher Ted Wilson recruited a young candidate to explain to our class how somebody runs for Congress.
